Welcome to the Lash World! If it’s your first time getting lash extensions in Solana Beach, here’s exactly what to expect:
We’ll begin with a consultation to discuss your lash goals, check for any allergies or sensitivities, and answer any questions you may have.
Next, I’ll cleanse your lashes to remove makeup, oil, and skincare residue. A gentle hydrogel pad will be applied to your lower lash line—this is the only time your eyes will need to be open. Once in place, you’ll keep your eyes closed for the rest of the service.
At this point, the lash application process will then begin. Feel free to relax, nap, or listen to a podcast—I’ll take care of the rest. When we’re done, you’ll wake up with fuller, fluffier lashes that enhance your natural beauty.
⏱️ Service Timing:
Full Sets take approximately 2 to 3 hours, depending on your desired style and the density of your natural lashes.
Fills range from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how long it’s been since your last visit:
Mini Fill (45 min): For fills within 7 days
Standard Fill (1.5 hrs): For fills within 8–21 days
Extended Fill (2 hrs): For fills within 14–28 days
✨ Longevity & Maintenance:
A full set of lash extensions can last up to 8 weeks as your natural lashes grow and shed however to maintain a full look, schedule a fill every 2–3 weeks.With consistent fills and proper aftercare, your lash extensions can keep you looking polished while simplifying your morning routine—no mascara needed.

A lash lift is a beautiful, low-maintenance way to enhance your natural lashes with a long-lasting curl—no extensions or daily lash curler needed!
We’ll begin by cleansing your lashes to remove any oil, makeup, or residue. A hydrogel pad will be applied under the eyes to protect your lower lashes.
Next, I’ll apply a gentle adhesive balm and secure a lash rod to your eyelid to shape your lashes. Your lashes are then carefully lifted and curled onto the rod, and the lifting process begins.
This is a 4–5 step process—including a lifting solution, deep conditioning treatment, setting solution, an optional Lash Tint, and a nourishing leave-on treatment—with each step taking anywhere from 5 to 12 minutes depending on the strength and needs of your natural lashes.
During this time, you’re welcome to relax, nap, or listen to your favorite podcast. The full service takes about 75–90 minutes, and your results can last up to 8 weeks depending on your natural lash cycle and aftercare.For best results, it’s recommended to maintain your lash lift every 8–9 weeks to keep your lashes beautifully curled without over-processing. Lash lifts are perfect for anyone who wants to wake up looking refreshed and effortlessly put-together.

After we begin by cleansing the brow area, I’ll apply a soothing eye mask to enhance your spa-like experience. From there, the Brow Smoothing Process begins.
A gentle solution is applied to soften the brow hairs and make them more flexible. While the follicles are open, a conditioning treatment is worked in to nourish the brows from the inside out. Your brows will then be brushed and styled into your desired shape, followed by a setting lotion to lock everything in place. We’ll finish with a nourishing oil to keep your brows healthy and hydrated.
Shaping is included, and you can add a brow tint for a more defined and dimensional look.
The full process takes about 45–60 minutes, and results last up to 6–8 weeks. It’s perfect for anyone wanting a low-maintenance, high-impact brow upgrade.
-
Brow tinting is a quick, non-invasive way to give your brows more depth, shape, and definition by temporarily coloring the brow hairs—and sometimes the skin—for a fuller, more polished look.
Here’s what to expect during your first appointment:
We’ll begin by cleansing the brow area to remove any makeup, oil, or skincare.
I’ll then apply a soothing eye mask to elevate your experience while I map your brows to create a shape that flatters your natural features.
Once mapped, we’ll move into brow shaping, using gentle waxing or tweezing to clean up and define your brows.
After shaping, the tint is carefully applied and allowed to process based on your hair type and desired depth of color.
The full process takes about 20–30 minutes, and your results typically last 2–3 weeks on the hair and up to 7 days on the skin, depending on your skin type and aftercare.
This service is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their natural brows and cut down on their daily makeup routine.
Pairs beautifully with a lamination service for a more defined and long-lasting look. -
Both lash lifts and lash extensions enhance your eyes beautifully, but they offer different benefits depending on your lifestyle and desired look:
Lash Lift: Perfect for those who want a low-maintenance, natural enhancement. A lash lift gently curls your natural lashes upward, making them appear longer and more defined—no extensions or daily curling needed. It’s great for clients who want a soft, effortless look.
Lash Extensions: Ideal if you're looking to add fullness, length, and drama to your lashes. Extensions are customizable by style, curl, and even color, so you can go as natural or as bold as you’d like. Great for special events, everyday glam, or simplifying your makeup routine.
Not sure which is right for you? I’d love to help you choose the best option for your lash goals during your consultation.

Whether you're booked for a lash extension, lash lift, brow lamination, wax, or tint, here are a few tips to help you feel relaxed, prepared, and ready to get the most out of your appointment:
✅ Arrive Makeup-Free
Please come with a clean face—no mascara, eye makeup, brow products, or heavy skincare around the eyes and brows. This allows us to start your service right away without spending time on removal and ensures better results, especially for lash adhesion and tint absorption.✅ Remove Contact Lenses (For Lash Appointments)
For lash lifts and extensions, it’s best to remove contact lenses beforehand and bring backup glasses if needed. This prevents dryness and discomfort during the service.✅ Dress Comfortably
You’ll be lying down for up to 2–3 hours for some lash services, so wear cozy clothes and bring a layer if you run cold—my suite tends to be a little chilly.✅ Plan Your Entertainment
I always encourage relaxation, but if you’d prefer to listen to a podcast, playlist, or audiobook, have it ready to go. Once the gel pads are placed on your eyes, they must remain closed, but I’ll help you press play before we begin.✅ Avoid Caffeine Right Before Your Appointment
Caffeine can make it harder to relax and can cause your eyes to flutter. If possible, skip the coffee right before your appointment—your lashes will thank you!Want to know more about what to expect from your specific service?
